Liberia v Ukraine
Liberia (0) v Ukraine (0)
Liberia get off to a strong start running up a 3-0 lead with some superb goals scored. But Ukraine keep a steady head and refuse to panic....it serves them well and they manage to peg two goals back albeit with a slightly lucky strike that hits the post and goes in off the keepers back.
A Ukraine injury allows the Liberian no.6 to show some high quality keepy-uppy skills! but can he do it on the pitch?......oh yes he can and makes it 4-2 with a lovely strike.
Confusion reigns at a Ukraine free kick and they pull one back as the Liberians are caught napping.
HT
A fairly slow start to the 2nd half comes to an end when Liberia are awarded 2 penalties in the space of 2 mins. The first is missed but the 2nd dispatched with aplomb to make it 5-3.
Ukraine enjoy lots of possession but they seem a bit too relaxed....they need to score! They pull one back but there are only 10 seconds left. They've paid for a lack of intention and Liberia win 5-4.
